National Rifle Association
FAIRFAX, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- The NRA Foundation is proud to announce a newly-formed partnership with premier rifle and shotgun manufacturer Blaser USA.
Through this alliance, Blaser has generously donated ninety-five R93 Prestige Rifles for the Friends of NRA National Sponsor program.
“We are thrilled to receive Blaser’s donation for the National Sponsor program,” said Kyle Weaver, Managing Director of NRA Field Operations.
“The pairing of two organizations dedicated to the shooting sports will surely benefit each brand. As for the sponsors who purchase a rifle, they are receiving a high quality product while helping to fund our national and state shooting programs.”
The new Blaser-Friends of NRA sponsorship is available through every NRA Field Representative for a $5,000 tax-deductible* contribution. The R93 comes in three calibers (.25-06, .243 WIN, .300 WIN MAG) with Grade 3 Turkish Walnut wood, discreet arabesque engraving, scope mount and a synthetic hard case. Additional sponsor benefits include the 2011 sponsor sculpture, hat, and one-year subscription to The NRA Foundation’s Traditions magazine. Contact Event Services Manager Jeremy Greene at (703) 267-1354 or jgreene@nrahq.org for more information.
“Blaser USA places the passionate hunter at the forethought of every decision we make,” said Norbert Haussmann, President & CEO of Blaser USA. “By supporting Friends of NRA, our dedication and commitment to hunters now extends to helping fund an invaluable program that ensures our customers may continue to enjoy our products across the United States.”
